Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is digging in as her reelection bid in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District remains too close to call, with her Democratic challenger Eileen Laubacher holding a slim lead and thousands of ballots potentially left to count.
A Razor-Thin Margin
As of Monday night, Laubacher leads Boebert by 3,352 votes—just 0.9 percentage points—according to the Associated Press, which has yet to officially call the race. With 98% of estimated ballots counted, roughly 7,800 votes could still be outstanding, though exact figures remain unclear.
Libertarian candidate Douglas Mangeris trails with 3.3% of the vote, potentially playing a spoiler role in the tight contest.
Boebert Blasts ‘Premature’ Claims
In a video statement, Boebert slammed CNN and Democrats for attempting to declare victory before all votes are tallied. “Declaring victory now is like icing a cake before it comes out of the oven,” she said, noting Colorado law gives counties until November 13 to finalize counts—including military and overseas ballots.
The firebrand conservative thanked supporters but made no concessions: “Regardless of the final outcome, we will move forward to future victories together.”
Leadership Vote Drama
The unresolved race sparked confusion Tuesday over Boebert’s role in House GOP leadership elections. Initial reports claimed she was barred from participating, but sources later clarified she would vote in the afternoon session. Boebert dismissed the back-and-forth as “false” and took aim at Washington norms: “This election proved America HATES the normal run of show here in DC.”
With control of the House potentially hanging on a handful of uncalled races—including this one—both parties remain locked in a waiting game as Colorado officials continue counting.
